Title 3— Notice of March 8, 2007

The President Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran

On March 15, 1995, by Executive Order 12957, the President declared a

national emergency with respect to Iran pursuant to the International Emer-
gency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706) to deal with the unusual
and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy
of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of the Government
of Iran. On May 6, 1995, the President issued Executive Order 12959 imposing
more comprehensive sanctions to further respond to this threat, and on
August 19, 1997, the President issued Executive Order 13059 consolidating
and clarifying the previous orders.
Because the actions and policies of the Government of Iran continue to
pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States, the national emergency declared
on March 15, 1995, must continue in effect beyond March 15, 2007. There-
fore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act
(50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency
with respect to Iran. Because the emergency declared by Executive Order
12957 constitutes an emergency separate from that declared on November
14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, this renewal is distinct from the emer-
gency renewal of November 2006.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted
to the Congress.
